Hey,

ive posted this under adsl, netwroking & broadband cos it covers most of all of those..

i just started having this problem on saturday evening


my pc all of a sudden gets EXTREMELY skluggish, eg. if i move my mouse across the scrren its as tho its moving in mud & dots across my screen, ive found that if i disconnect from the net everything is fine but as soon as i go on again its sluggish once more...

weird as i said so its not my pc but in fact something with maybe my router or netword / card or hub

im connecting thru bridged mode with my router but the router is connected to my hub & then to my pc & this has been working fine for just over a year.. this is the first time ive found this... & only from tonight..

i thought it may have been a trojan but why would everything be fine if i disconnect from the net?


ive checked to see if its my network card but i cant seem tio find any that work or maybe its my pci slots i wouldnt know but ive tried 2 cards in 2 slots & none are even picking up in windows or device manager


well my download speed goes to about 0.1 kb/s when this is happening but nothing is running or using more resources than about 10% which is about normal.. grabit just stopps, utorrent stops & i can barely use my mouse

until i disonnect then everything is perfect

it happened again at 9pm tonight i disconnected for about 10min then re connected & everything was fine for about 1.5hrs, then it happened again... i disconnected again, swapped out netwrok card etc but the one i use is onboard..

i also share my bridged mode connection which has been working perfectly for about 2 years in this config but until yesterday this all started.. unfortunatly the router has only one port

im normally online about 50+ days so maybe its over usage

oh & my pc temps are cpu 30, gpu 38 (only heat sink no fan.. cheapie) mobo 36 so everything is stock standard..

everything is fine now but its probably gonna happen again soon.. till then im confuzzed


its the ICS, if i disable the internet connection sharing then everything works fine but as soon as i enable it my pc dies it feels like im encoding 5 movies on a 386 pc!!!!

does anyone know what i can do to fix this as i really have to have internet connection sharing for my network 5 pc's on the lan all needing internet access
 
It's a virus/trojan, somewhere on one of the machines maybe yours, but definatly some soft of infection.
I've had this sort of thing before soon as you give a pc network/internet access it goes to a crawl
nod32 i recommend for this, but feel free to use whatever you think is best
 
sorry but i use nod32 & esset security x64 between all the computers 2x nod32 & 1x esset x64 with latest updates etc
